...Easy Virtue with co-writer Sheridan Jobbins and has been respectful to the basic plot (although he brightens up the ending) and to Coward's gift with a bon mot. "We try not to speak of it," John tells Larita, referencing his father's disgraceful postwar doings in France. "Except in public." I do not have a copy of the original play on hand, but if that isn't lifted straight out of Coward, I'll eat Larita's cloche. (Not until after I've worn it a bit though.
